Greece’s new Parliament, elected two weeks ago, has chosen Syriza deputy Nikos Voutsis as its speaker.
Mr. Voutsis got 181 votes from 297 voting lawmakers on Sunday.
Mr. Voutsis succeeds Zoe Konstantopoulou, who left Syriza in August after Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras accepted the third bailout deal for Greece.
Mr. Voutsis is expected to adhere closer to the Speaker’s traditional role, in contrast to Ms. Konstantopoulou, who commented, often disapprovingly, on almost every lawmaker’s contribution and whose long speeches resembled political manifestos.
